The 1st round of the North Lancs swimming league took place at Southport at the end of April, and it was a chance to show off our newly sponsored gear kindly donated by BAE Systems.
We were heavily hit with absentees, which affected our boys 14 and under category quite badly, but our under 12's stepped up to fill the void and did exceptionally well, they weren't phased by their larger opponents at all. Well done to them and all the team you were all great. Probably one of the best performances this season so far saw us fight it out with Preston all the way to the final race, and eventually we shared the honors coming joint 1st overall. Have a look below at the team dressed out for the occasion, don't you all look great :) Well Done to all the team and a great big thank you to BAE Systems.

What an exciting finish at the latest Micro league fixture, and one of the closest gala's we've attended for some time, it really did go down to the wire for some teams. The cannon was dramatic with the 2 front runners both being disqualified leaving Chorley to grab the win and finish in 2nd overall.
A great gala for all concerned and a big thank you to all that helped/swam, WELL DONE :) Have a look at the results sheet below We have had a record number of swimmers achieve qualifying times for this years County Championships,an achievement in itself to just compete against all that Lancashire has to offer. There were some great swims and a lot of PB's by our swimmers and the club is very proud of them all. Have a look at the results attached below to see how they did.
It was a tough opening round for us in Lancaster, and it was always going to be an uphill battle what with the stiff competition and several swimmers missing because of the half term holidays. Saying that I thought we handled ourselves pretty well and never let our heads drop even though we weren't picking up many points, which is great to see that our swimmers have that never say die attitude.
Well Done to all |
